 Good morning, this is Charlotte Local Pulse for Thursday, December 18. We start with breaking news from the roads: one person died in a crash yesterday afternoon on I-485 in north Charlotte near the Prosperity Church Road exit, according to WSOC TV reports, reminding us to drive carefully amid holiday traffic. In other serious incidents, WCNC covered a deadly shooting in our city earlier this week, with investigators still piecing together details, but no ongoing threats to the public.

Shifting to our economy, we see resilience here despite national worries. The U.S. unemployment rate hit a four-year high of 4.6 percent last month per Bureau of Labor Statistics data, but Charlotte holds steady around 3.8 percent, with North Carolina adding about 67,000 jobs earlier this year in health and education, as HERE Charlotte notes. Wells Fargo just posted openings for commercial loan servicing reps downtown through today, and TD Economics forecasts steady job growth in finance and tech for us. On real estate, Fox Business highlights Charlotte as a top spot for a homebuying surge next year as rates drop, with median prices holding firm around $400,000 in areas like SouthPark.

City Hall updates include no major votes yesterday, but watch for budget talks affecting daily services like Mecklenburg County bus routes on Tryon Street. New business buzz: Maersk eyes our region for logistics expansion, promising hundreds of jobs near the airport.

Weather today brings partly cloudy skies with highs near 52 degrees and light winds, perfect for outdoor errands but bundle up for evening chills, per local forecasts; no big impacts on events.

Upcoming, catch Charlotte Restaurant Week kickoff tomorrow night at spots along Tryon Street, and community caroling at Romare Bearden Park this weekend. Quick school shoutout: Central High Magnet won their regional basketball matchup last night, 65-52.

For a feel-good story, listeners shared how neighborhood volunteers cleared fallen branches from Freedom Park trails after recent winds, keeping our green spaces open for families.

On public safety in the past day, CMPD reports minor thefts near NoDa but no major arrests; stay vigilant around ATMs.
